One Page Rules regularly puts out STL files so that people can print out minis for themselves right in their own home. But, what if you're like me and you don't have a 3D printer and none of your friends close by do (having my friend near Seattle print out a mini and ship it to me here in Atlanta isn't really cost-effective)? Well, OPR has opened up an Etsy store to help out. Now, you can order their minis in their physical form directly from them.

From the update:

Hi everyone,

Over the last week I’ve been extremely busy putting together a lot of new and exciting stuff for you. We’ve got some small but important game updates for you, as well as some army updates. We’ve now got a store where you can buy our models if you don’t have a 3D printer, and we’ve partnered up to create painting videos for our models.

On top of that I’ve been working hard on a lot of new patreon stuff, with a massive release for next month, adding a ton of new stuff like themed bases and game aids, as well as continuing the development of sellswords and the new arena updates. March is going to be a great month in terms of both games and models, so today’s update is just the beginning of lots of cool things to come.

Anyway, let’s get to it!

A Mending is a game about going and seeing an old friend that you've not seen in forever... No, that doesn't hit real close to home right now. Not at all... Anyway, that's the premise of this solo keepsake game. Why keepsake game? Because you actually use your sewing skills to create a beautiful piece as you play that you get to keep when you're done. The project is up on Kickstarter now.

From the campaign:

You have been parted from a dear friend for a long time. Now, they have called for you. You are going to visit your friend, and the path is long and it will take many days. As you plan and trace your route on a cloth map(or paper), using needle and thread(or pen), you will use and answer story prompt cards to discover the stories and primary incidents behind your friendship, find strange and wonderful objects and people on your path, and build your own narrative of this particular journey and friendship.

A Mending is a keepsake game, a term that I use to describe the kind of game I make - games that produce beautiful, memorable physical artifacts through the gameplay process. These keepsakes are a collaboration between me, as a designer, and the players, who all create their own unique objects. This honors my lifetime love of tinkering and making, and reduces waste by producing something worth keeping. Jeeyon Shim and I began using this term while making our keepsake game, Field Guide to Memory, to describe the work we do.

The campaign's more than 4x funded with 22 days left to go.

Whooooooooooah! We're halfway there! Woooooo-OH! We're still halfway there! (don't want to get a copywrite strike against the channel... wait, what?) Anyway, we are, indeed, halfway through the week. So begins the steady downhill roll to the weekend. And what's a good roll without butter? I might be mixing my metaphors a lot, but it's only because I'm apparently a bit peckish. Let's munch on some bite-sized gaming stories. Today on the platter we have:

Raven & Riddle's Fairtyale Collection Dice Up On Kickstarter

Once upon a time... there were two powerful enchantresses who both loved to play tabletop RPGs. These two bonded in their love of shiny things, especially the dice they rolled for their beloved games. To their great sadness they found that no matter how lovely, they could not satisfy their love for dice, or desire for more. And so the first sorceress concocted a plan to make dice of her own. But so lovely were these dice that she could not keep them all to herself. For a dreadful curse had come upon her, that she would not be happy until all had seen the wonderful beauty of her dice. In despair, she reached out to her fellow enchantress, who concocted a plan to share their dice with the world. While the first enchantress would make the wonderful dice, the second would spread the word of the collection far and wide.   So came about the Raven & Riddle Fairytale Collection! These marvelous dice are inspired by fairytales and folktales the entire world round, from France, to Norway, from West Africa to India, and China and Japan. Your familiar favorites are mixed in with some you may never have heard before, but old or new, we believe you will find these dice stunning snd well crafted. So dive into our tales of wonder and feast your eyes on the treasures below.

Dice For All 2 Pride Flag Dice Up On Kickstarter

Last year, Foam Brain Games was excited to be able to produce the first ever line of metal pride dice, and the reception was amazing! Late last year we came up with a really cool new idea for resin pride dice, so we're back with Dice For All 2! In addition to our brand new dice sets, our artist Kayla has come up with an awesome set of enamel pins based on D&D alignments, and we have several other amazing add-ons as well.

Each set of Dice For All resin dice includes 7 dice (a D4, D6, D8, D10, D1%, D12 and D20), each of which has small clay flags embedded into it. These inclusions don't significantly affect the weight or rolling ability, look fantastic, and let you show off your pride everywhere! By using resin for this campaign, we're able to produce dice that are clear and filled with great inclusions. This means these dice will last and let you show off your pride flag at the gaming table for years to come!

We're also producing 9 alignment pins for each pride flag style. Each pin is 1.5" and hard enamel, with 2 posts on the back. Great for putting on your bag or displaying on your wall, show everyone your pride flag and alignment!

The sky's the limit when you head out in an airship. And if you're looking to add some high-flying action to your 5th Edition D&D games, along with a cool setting otherwise, and some minis for it all, you should check out the Airship Campaigns Kickstarter campaign, happening now.

From the campaign:

Welcome to the world of Sordane. A living and growing world in the many imaginations of our amazing backers from our first campaign, Skies of Sordane. 

My name is Benny McLennan. Over the last year, I have connected with a countless number of you due to the success of the first campaign and your growing love of the world of Sordane. 

With the amazing support of over 5,500 backers and late backers from Skies of Sordane, we went on to develop a fully coloured, and fleshed out, 5th edition supplement PDF for running your own airship campaigns selling almost 2,000 digital copies! Now, it's time to get it into the physical form.

This campaign is a prelimary foray into the world of creating printed products for our faithful customers and backers. We have ambitious plans to flesh out the ever growing world of Sordane in the future. Many, many, plans. And they all start here. If we are successful with this campaign, it will jump start the content creation division of Arcane Minis. We will be able to create more lore, adventures, items and art for all of you outside of even this Kickstarter. 

We will continue to tie in all elements of our world and products into each other to give our backers a rich world to explore.

As the Featured Image tells you, the campaign funded pretty quickly. So, it's flying through stretch goals for the next 29 days.

Cults. They're a staple villain in RPGs. Trying to resurrect or summon long-gone deities that will surely cause havoc all around, the heroes generally have to thwart their plans. But it can be tough to make a cult more interesting than simply, "yeah, dead god. Long robes. Chant a lot." If you want to add more dimensions to your cults, you'll want to check out Remarkable Cults & Their Followers, a system-agnostic RPG supplement that's up on Kickstarter now.

From the campaign:

Too often, the bad guys in our roleplaying games are nameless street thugs, one-dimensional bandits, or crazed wizards. Remarkable Cults gives inspiration (and pre-made organizations) that break those cliches and provides ways to add depth, complexity, and danger to villainous factions in your games. Give your players worthy adversaries to investigate, challenge, or even ally with, resulting in endless tantalizing story opportunities!

Third In the Series: Following the success of our Remarkable Inns and Remarkable Shops GM guides, Remarkable Cults is the third book in this series, with a planned "sequel" in 2022. This book is largely system-neutral, providing worldbuilding ideas that are not rules-specific and are easy to use in any fantasy roleplaying game. The estimated content is around 120 pages, which may expand with stretch goal unlocks.

As you can see from the featured image, the campaign's already up and over its funding goal with 29 days left to go.

The Americans certainly didn't succeed on D-Day alone. It took a concerted effort from all the Allies. And the French Resistance, which had been fighting the Germans since the occupation of their country, helped out plenty, too. In this article, Warlord Games takes a look at some of that help and how it'll work in the upcoming D-Day: US Sector book for Bolt Action.

From the article:

Veteran Jedburgh teams supported the French resistance during the Allied invasion in 1944 - find new rules in the forthcoming Campaign D-Day: US Sector!

There were several resistance movements throughout occupied Europe. With their ability to disrupt German communications and movements from behind enemy lines, they were a critical resource to the coming invasion. Their members were also at high risk of being captured and killed. The Allied high command realized that without help, many of these groups would eventually fade out. To keep this from happening, a joint operation between the US, Britain and France called ‘Jedburgh’ was formed.

The mission was to parachute small teams of specially trained commandos behind enemy lines. These teams would assist the guerrilla fighters by training them and arranging supply drops. The radios they carried provided a crucial link between the guerrilla resistance and the Allies. It was a dangerous mission, made all the more hazardous by the fact that they often fought in uniform as opposed to sneaking in disguise. The men chosen for this duty had to be proven veterans and were then put through a rigorous training process to make sure only the best made it to a team.

Apparently, the announcement of the update to Summoner Wars left many who read it confused and many gamers thought that the various packages weren't exactly what they'd find useful. Well, Plaid Hat has heard your concerns and has updated their offerings as a result.

From the update:

Yesterday, Plaid Hat Games launched pre-orders for Summoner Wars Second Edition. Among the options presented were two different subscription levels, which garnered a lot of feedback. There was some confusion over how the subscriptions worked, particularly in regards to Summoner Wars Online, and for some fans the levels didn’t fit their needs. So we have slightly revised our subscription offerings, and adjusted the available pre-order levels to better suit our customers’ preferences.

Below are the revised levels, which have also been updated on the main Summoner Wars page.

From the article:

Come to the light – claim a Lumineth-themed coin and model in March. Read on to see how you can get them for yourself.

With Broken Realms: Teclis right around the corner, everyone’s thinking about the Lumineth Realm-lords. It’s appropriate, then, that March’s Miniatures of the Month are these fantastic Auralan Wardens. If you’re a fan of fancy hats, looong spears, and just exquisite models in general, you’ll want to make sure you pop into your local Warhammer store to get one.
